Efforts to Promote Hand and Reconstructive Microsurgery
Setting up of the State of the Art “Ganga Microsurgery Training Institute”for advanced training in Micro Surgery at Ganga Hospital
Lack of laboratory training in reconstructive microsurgery was a big handicap for the growth of thespeciality in India. This was made good with the setting up of a lab with standards as good as abroad.This has emerged as a popular training lab in the world. 2020 Surgeons from 68 countries and 128cities in India have been trained in the lab. Many trainees have gone back to their respectiveplaces and did the first Microsurgical Flaps and Replantations in their units.
Comment of Dr Robert D Acland, Louisville, USA, the pioneer in Microsurgery on his visit tothe Microsurgery Lab at Ganga Hospital, February 2006.
“I am so happy to be here in your new United Nations of Microsurgical progress and education.This feels the same, in terms of energy and excitement as Louisville in the 70’s, or Ljubjena in the80’s. My best wishes for your long continued success.”

Creation of Paid Fellowships for training in Hand and ReconstructiveMicro Surgery
Dr S Raja Sabapathy took efforts to institute Fellowships for training younger surgeons in the fieldof Hand and Microsurgery. This was in collaboration with industry leaders in the field. These paidFellowships attract quality surgeons towards the field and has greatly changed the scenario of Handand Microsurgery training in the country. These fellowships are the first of their kind and are mostsought after by candidates completing M Ch training in Plastic Surgery.
This Fellowship enables middle level senior people in public hospitals and teaching institutionsto spend 8 weeks at Ganga Hospital learning the protocols of management of different problems. Inturn it is hoped that the trainees will impart the knowledge gained to their students. The first of thisis
Ganga Hospital – Johnson & Johnson Fellowship in Hand and ReconstructiveMicrosurgeryMr. William Dearstyne, Company Group Chairman, Johnson & Johnson visited the Hospital on 5thMarch 2002. During the presentation of the work of the departments of the Hospital it was suggestedthat paid fellowships as available abroad will encourage the faster spread of Reconstructive
108
Microsurgery. The advantage of its application in Hand Surgery and Trauma reconstruction and itsneed in India was stressed. Mr. Dearstyne was impressed of the potential of Ganga Hospital forsuch collaborative effort. As a follow-up of the visit, two Fellowships were set up. Each Fellowshipis of the value of Rs 25,000. Now it hast been upgraded to Rs 37,500. Johnson & Johnson providethe funding and the Ganga Hospital provides the training. The selected candidates spend 6 to 8weeks at Ganga Hospital and they take part in all clinical and academic activities of the unit. Theyalso undertake the weeklong Microsurgery laboratory course at the Ganga Microsurgery TrainingInstitute. We had an overwhelming response when the applications were called for vindicating theconcept with which we set the fellowship.

Institution of Bruce Bailey Traveling Fellowship (for British Trainees)
Mr. Bruce Bailey, Retired Senior Consultant Plastic Surgeon at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, United
Kingdom passed away in April 2001. He was responsible for training many Plastic Surgeons from
India including Dr S Raja Sabapathy. He opened the windows of opportunities for many young
surgeons from our country. In the memory of this great man “Bruce Bailey Traveling Fellowship”
was set up by Dr S Raja Sabapathy. Bruce visited India many times and loved it. It is felt that
setting up a Fellowship to enable a British Trainee visit our unit for a period of 6 to 8 weeks is a good
way to keep the memory of the great man alive. It surely will build bridges between the two
countries to mutual advantage. The Fellowship is recognized and announced in the newsletters of the
British Association of Plastic Surgeons and the British Society for Surgery of the Hand for the
information of the interested candidates.
It is worthy to add the impressions of the Bruce Bailey Fellow about the scheme.
“I am a Specialist Registrar in Plastic Surgery at Canniesburn Hospital in Glasgow in the UK, in my
final year of training. I have been very lucky to be selected as the very first Bruce Bailey Fellow,
and I have been at Ganga Hospital for the last 2 months. During this time, I have been involved in
the management of more major upper and lower limb injuries than I would normally see at home
in several years. The opportunity to be a part of the team at Ganga, working in a different
country with a completely different culture, whilst maintaining the highest clinical standards,
as good as the best units in the UK, has been a fascinating experience. There are many
differences, but also many similarities between the two systems! The Bruce Bailey Fellowship has
been a great learning experience for me….”
-Mr Rodrick Dunn – 2002
Mr Dunn won the Lester Surgical and Heinz Waldrich Prize worth £ 1500 for the best Micro
surgically oriented paper presented during the BAPS meeting held at London, Dec 2003 for the paper,
‘Passage to India – Bruce Bailey Fellowship in Hand and Microsurgery’. The paper was about the
experience and the work done during his fellowship at Ganga Hospital, Coimbatore. Rod presented
the prize of £ 1500 worth of Micro instruments to the department.

We reduced the number of injuries, but we had higher goals. In the unfortunate event of an accidentwe wanted every injured patient to get the best possible treatment. A Rotary matching grant projectwas done which facilitated reconstructive surgery for poor patients who needed specialized treatmentincluding major microsurgery. 100 patients were treated. The funds from the grant were utilizedfor the consumables with Dr Raja Sabapathy and team waiving their fees. Rs 391,000 was thegrant amount, but the total project value was Rs 1,095,000. So every ‘rupee of the grant went along mile’.

This group was inaugurated by Hon Justice Shivaraj V. Patil on 20th December 2007 in the presenceof Dr B A Anantharaman, President, Indian Society for Surgery of the Hand. It is dedicated to betterthe lives of people who suffer serious injury to their hands and upper extremity. The group willcomprise of patients who have suffered such injuries, surgeons involved in the care of patients,therapists, social workers, industrialists and any one who is willing to give a helping hand.
Good recovery after hand reconstruction often takes time, and it requires perserverance on the part ofthe patient. No one is able to provide this support better than a person who has been in similarcircumstances and is presently doing well. Mr. Srinivasan and Mr. Biju who had sustained veryserious hand injuries gave inspirational speeches on the occasion. Former patients in this group willgive valuable support to the patients and their families. It will provide the network and the neededinformation.
Present day society does offer help to differently able persons. But many are not aware of theopportunities available. The group will serve as a resource base to help people know the possibilities.

Help people live with change
Face the world with confidence
Open up windows of opportunities
